He hung about in the saloons in the neigh borhood of Quinn's house all day July 6, drinking and swearing that he would Kill Quinn as soon as he could find him. He had borrowed pistol from Alexander Neil and showed it to several persons, saying he was go- ing to kill Quinn with it. He waited in front of Quinn's house until 5 o'clock in the after noon, when the young athlete returned home. Quinn stood on the steps for few minutes and then sat down on them and began to read newspaper. While he was thus en- { gagged Quinn walked up and deliberately shot | him.

 THROAT IN CELL. 1
 William NJ. Smith, former resident of | Hartford, cut his throat fatally while con fined in cell in the central police station at I Pittsburg, Ps., early Friday morning, July | g, as reported in yesterday mornings CoU- | RIER. He had been arrested during the after | noon for drunkenness and was in condition bordering on insanity. He gave his home as No. ,438 Broad street, Hartford, and dis l patch was sent to that city. John Burns has ! boarding house at No. ,438 Broad street l and from him it was learned that Smith ! made his home in Hartford for a few months | three years ago. John Smith, brakeman l on the Consolidated road, boarded with l Burns and August 8, 1884, brought his | brother, William M, to the house a boarder. The latter was also brakeman, River freight and were at home but three days a week. On the Sth of October of the game year the two men suddenly disappeared. leaving their board bills unpaid. 1 months, when MT. Burns received an order from John turning his months pay over for payment on his board bill. This nearly I squared the accounts, and was a happy sur prise for Mir. Burns. Two months later ! letter was received from William, but in- ! stead of money this contained a promise to l pay his back board bill. Nothing has since | been heard from William, except that the ! two brothers went vest Both were more or less dissipated, and this was the cause of their l discharge from the employ of the Consolidat- 1 ed road. Later information shows that drink l
  men. Less than year ago word was receiv- ] ed from Ohio that John had been dis | charged for neglect of his duties on account l of drunkenness. While working out his | notice he continued his spree, fell from a | freight car and was killed. The dispatch from l Pittsburg in relation to William says he can- not recover. The brothers were the sons of @ | clergyman living at Akron, Ohio, and the l father gave his boys first class education. | They were sent to college, and it is understood l that the father wanted one or both of them | to enter the ministry. Differences arose, and this is said ts have culminated in the boys | leaving home and coming East where they 1 became brakemen. It is certain that they | belonged to good family, as they were in receipt of money which they said came from an aunt. Later the aunt died, and it is be- lieved they came into possession of her prop erty. While in this city the brothers led | reckless lives, but were usually able to attend | to their work on the trains. William is about | twenty-seven years of age, while John was six or eight years his senior.-Hartford Times.
